You may be ashamed to admit it, but I demand to know:

What is your favorite musical? :hyper:

I have Les Mis tix for tonight, this is my third time going :heart:

You can pick a live one, one that you love from seeing the movie, whatever, but you must admit that you love at least one musical :angry:

My other faves are West Side Story and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

cell · Dec 21, 2003

I haven't seen it in a long time, but its West Side Story.

1. Flower Drum Song (the movie)

2. Sound of Music

3. Wizard of Oz

4. Cabaret

and maybe

5. All That Jazz

ABEL · Dec 21, 2003

Les Miserables is my favorite too. i've seen it twice and would love to see it again sometime. :heart:

i own the broadway version and the london version soundtracks, and the music box version of the sound track, which sounds like it was played on a music box :cute:

unfortunately i bought them before i had a cd player so it's just audio tapes...i think they're beginning to wear out :lol:

i also have the Les Miserables poster above my tv in my living room.

i :heart:

going to musicals and broadway shows whenever we go to nyc to visit my brother.

~fairy_girl~ · Dec 21, 2003

phantom of the opera... have seen the stage show twice now :cute:

also Cats, cos i like cats and when i was at school we did it as a show. never seen it LIVE tho...

saw miss saigon, wasnt that great, but was still very powerful

as for musical movies... wizard of oz, chitty chitty bang bang, evita... mary poppins :cute:

I loooove Les Miz. I saw it here in Toronto a few years back and fell in love. I have the CD, and the Live DVD. I was so dissapointed when I planned a trip to New York right after the very long run ended. Seeing it on Broadway would have been a dream come true.

I love them all though. Cats, Phantom, Miss Saigon, Rent, yes, even Beauty and the Beast.

spinninghead77 · Dec 21, 2003

Oh, and Sound of Music is one of my all time favorite movies. It reminds me of being a kid and watching it with my dad who also loves musicals.

Abel, you are so lucky to have a brother in NYC.

FizzingWhizzbees · Dec 21, 2003

Rent is my all time favourite. I love Cats too though.

Popmartijn · Dec 21, 2003

My sister is a huge music lover, so she has more authority in saying what her favourite musical is. Mine is...

:hmm:

I think Cyrano De Bergerac (or however you spell it). It wasn't a very big musical (and didn't too well on Broadway), but it did have one song that sent the shivers down my spine.

Les Miserables and the Phantom Of The Opera are very good too.

On screen my favourite is probably Grease.

C ya!

BAW · Dec 21, 2003

Grease, the stage version and the movie :hyper:

cass · Dec 21, 2003

The King and I...etc etc etc. Yul :drool:

My Fair Lady
Jesus Christ Superstar
Gene Kelly :drool:

I've only seen the movie versions.I've never seen a live musical. My friend just got back from finland/russia/japan...she spent 2 nights at the Bolshoi...she had a ball.
I love musicals.

Same with me also. :yes:

FizzingWhizzbees · Dec 21, 2003

I love Grease too.

I saw a stage production of it for the first time last year and I went away unable to get the songs out of my head for about a week.

flaming june · Dec 21, 2003

I like musicals, but my all time favorite is Singin' in the Rain.

U2girl02 · Dec 21, 2003

I just saw Les Mis last month and it was amazing... definitely one of my faves. I also like Sound of Music and My Fair Lady

Bono's shades · Dec 21, 2003

West Side Story
Sound of Music
Les Miserables (I was lucky enough to see this on Broadway)
Fiddler on the Roof
My Fair Lady

I have yet to see Phantom of the Opera, but I really want to.

If loving musicals is uncool, I don't want to be cool. :heart:

hiphop · Dec 21, 2003

Hair
The Rocky Horror Show
West Side Story

I liked Grease, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, and some mo? classical ones.. but those above are my three fav .. and actually there?s so much to see that I`d go for ballet, the Opera, or a ball :wink:

Niamh_Saoirse · Dec 21, 2003

To be honest...I hate musicals! The get on my nerves...

:reject:

Moonlit_Angel · Dec 21, 2003

I must agree with those who said "Les Miserables". Saw that in 10th grade on Broadway...wow. In-effin-credible performances. That, and I liked the storyline, sad as it may be.

"West Side Story", "Phantom Of The Opera", and "The Music Man" (which was based on the town I'm originally from

) are some of my other favorites.

In regards to "Grease", heh, I'm hard pressed to find kids from the schools I went to who didn't like "Grease". It was a blast when, at school dances, the "Grease" medley came on-everyone was singing along. I like that one, too. :yes:

I've seen Phantom twice, and I have the original cast recording CD.

I also love Grease!

Pinball Wizard · Dec 21, 2003

Paint Your Wagon.

*shakes fist.

nbcrusader · Dec 21, 2003

Chess (the original soundtrack - before it hit the stage)
Evita (both London & US soundtracks)

zonelistener · Dec 21, 2003

Um....

:shhh:

I LOVE MUSICALS :heart:

RENT (seen it six times and will be buying tickets for a March show too)
Cabaret
Chicago

I have seen Phantom and Miserables...but they just did not "WOW!" me like RENT - the reason: the diversity of music in RENT. Same thing with Chicago.

I have yet to see Chicago movie yet...I don't want to ruin the stage version!

I know some kids who adore "Rent", too.

I haven't seen it, though. Haven't seen "Chicago", either.

bammo2 · Dec 22, 2003

Seen Les Mis and Phantom in London :heart:

them both

Also a big fan of the Rocky Horror Show :up:

Ones I've seen which I enjoyed too include Rent, Joseph & Cats

Out of all of those, my favourite is definitely Les Mis :heart:

Diemen · Dec 22, 2003

Phantom is my personal favorite. My first broadway show and definitely my most memorable. I'd love to see Les Miz, I've known the music for ages and played it for quite a while, too (accompanying my sister and other singers).

I was supposed to go see Rent as an xmas present from someone a couple years ago, but she flaked on me.

Northeast · Dec 22, 2003

Rocky Horror Picture Show :wink:

bonosloveslave · Dec 22, 2003

We had a great time last night :heart:

I think it's cool how they have signers for the show now :up:

Kids?

I am far from a kid. But thanks for the note about not seeing either play. :eyebrow:
